Hey Andrew,
The list has offered very sound advice regarding battery, cables, grounding,
and corrosion issues. My input?
All that stuff, and get a new gear reduction starter anyway, it's worth it!
Easy to R and R, and you have the peace of mind of a new component that
should give you a long period of good, reliable performance.
